About Julian

Julian Davies – Independent Financial Adviser/Managing Director

Julian is the main financial adviser and has been giving financial advice since 1988.

After cutting his teeth as a financial consultant at Legal & General for the first 8 years, Julian then progressed to the more technical and challenging world of an independent financial adviser in 1996.

Davies Financial was later established in 2005 as Julian wanted to work on developing his own client-focussed practice and to spend as much time as possible dealing with his own clientele.

Julian is Level 4 Diploma qualified and enjoys the challenge of dealing with complex financial planning challenges and then converting these into plain English to help clients understand their options.

In his leisure time Julian loves to spend as much time on holiday with his family as he can, is a keen DIYer and occasionally plays golf when the time and weather permits.

About Debbie

Debbie Miles – Office Manager

Debbie is our office manager and has been working with Julian since 2002.

Debbie is actively involved throughout the business and is always on hand to offer support both to our clients and the rest of the Team. Indeed, she is the ‘go to’ person for our Team.
